Another week brings us another round of Minecraft testing, and this week is accompanied by Minecraft Preview 1.19.30.21. Mojang Studios is rolling out the new preview build to players on Xbox, PC and iOS platforms with numerous fixes and improvements in tow.
Don’t expect any major feature expansions with this Minecraft Preview release as the update is still built on top of Minecraft 1.19 “The Wild Update” and is focused on continuous improvement and iteration. This build includes several changes aimed at improving vanilla parity, changes to experimental features like Spectator Mode, and fixes that improve hotkeys, commands, creative mode, and more.
Minecraft has a passionate community that runs into the hundreds of millions, making it one of the most popular and successful games of all time. However, it has not reached this point by standing still, while Mojang Studios is constantly working on “the next big thing” for Minecraft and its players. We’ll have to wait a while before we know what that might be, as today’s preview continues to focus on improving the last major content update.
In case you missed it, Mojang Studios also recently released the Minecraft: Bedrock Edition 1.19.20 patch update for all players.
